Jedi 绝地
(重定向自Youngling)
The Jedi are the main protagonists in the fictional Star Wars universe. They are an ancient monastic, spiritual, and academic meritocratic organization whose origins dates back to circa 25,000 BBY (Before Battle of Yavin; the destruction of the first Death Star). The Jedi Order mostly consists of polymaths: teachers, philosophers, scientists, engineers, physicians, diplomats and warriors, who value knowledge and wisdom above nationality. By serving others, the Jedi give of themselves through acts of charity, citizenship, volunteerism, and good deeds, although despite this some sentients have displayed resentment, hostility and phobia of Jedi and tend to treat them more as villains rather than heroes: a degree known as Anti-Jedi sentiment. Their traditional weapon is the lightsaber, a device which generates a blade-like light controlled by a crystal. The organization has inspired a new religious movement, Jediism.
